Hi everyone,
My name is Austin I have an Combat Mechanic suggestion for Ashes of Creation. I'm not sure is this good or not so please go easy on me LOL.
First normal attack and heavy attack:
Left click the mouse it's normal attack
Right click the mouse it's heavy attack
Normal attack will restore stamina or Magic( something like this )
Heavy attack will cost stamina or Magic to do more damage

Ability:
Ability is the tricky park. I will do my best to explain
some ability have stage one, stage two or stage three
So the main ability that do damage in stage one ( like Judgment Paladin ability in WOW ) when you click Judgment on your keyboard. you need to use normal attack = Left click your mouse to use judgment when you left click your mouse it will have animation that will show a Hammer throw out from player character you need to Left click your mouse three time to go to stage two. when it's on stage two you have click the same keybind because they are same ability but in second stage it could be ( Holy Shock Paladin ability in WOW ) you need to Left click your mouse to actually use Holy Shock so it will have an animation show you are using Holy Shock etc. but when you in stage one if you Right click your mouse it could be different ability like Consecration or Crusader Strike something like that and it will end the ability stage in stage one or stage two. Stage three could be a ability that can do BIG damage. Of course not all the ability have stage one to stage three some of the could be only stage one to stage two and some of the ability could be you just need to click your keyboard one time and activate your ability without using your mouse it can be a stun or sleep maybe even turn someone to a sheep.

But when you use different ability in stage one or stage two even stage three before you click your mouse it will cancel the ability current stage it will back to stage one and immediately turn into cool down.

But my problem is this kind of combat mechanic it's heavily based on single class ( but Ashes of Creation can max any class ) so it might not work properly.

What do you guys think?

    It seems to me that Weapon Abilities will accomplish what you're really after here.
